Christie will look to smash what one Republican operative described as Booker&#8217;s &#8220;glass jaw&#8221; by attacking him for being the same kind of tax-and-spend Democrat that brought New Jersey the highest property taxes in the nation. He will say that Booker followed the playbook of his tarnished ally, former governor and bank boss Jon Corzine, by failing to address Newark’s structural deficit and continued reliance on suburban taxes. Like Democrats in Congress who ignore the cost of entitlements, Christie will argue, Booker failed to do the “big things.”]]>Mon, 19 Nov 2012 20:30:50 -0500<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]>https://hotair.com/headlines/2012/11/19/a-christie-vs-booker-campaign-would-be-epic-n97627
